For each integer n\ge 2, we construct an irreducible, smooth, complex projective variety M of dimension n, whose fundamental group has infinitely generated homology in degree n+1 and whose universal cover is a Stein manifold, homotopy…

We consider the space $\mathcal M_{q,n}$ of regular $q$-tuples of commuting nilpotent endomorphisms of $k^n$ modulo simultaneous conjugation. We show that $\mathcal M_{q,n}$ admits a natural homogeneous space structure, and that it is an…

A recent paper of Totaro develops a theory of $q$-ample bundles in characteristic 0. Specifically, a line bundle $L$ on $X$ is $q$-ample if for every coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$, there exists an integer $m_0$ such that $m\geq m_0$…

We study minimal del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 with a conic bundle over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ according to the action of the absolute Galois group on the singular fibers (which is known as their type). We give a lower bound on the…

Define a line bundle L on a projective variety to be q-ample, for a natural number q, if tensoring with high powers of L kills coherent sheaf cohomology above dimension q. Thus 0-ampleness is the usual notion of ampleness. Intuitively, a…

Let $E$ be an indecomposable rank two vector bundle on the projective space $\PP^n, n \ge 3$, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. It is well known that $E$ is arithmetically Buchsbaum if and only if $n=3$ and $E$ is a…

We show that the only rational homology spheres which can admit almost complex structures occur in dimensions two and six. Moreover, we provide infinitely many examples of six-dimensional rational homology spheres which admit almost complex…

Assuming Hartshorne's conjecture on complete intersections, we classify projective bundles over projective spaces which has a smooth blow up structure over another projective space. Under some assumptions, we also classify projective…

Strongly $\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebras or principal circle bundles and associated line bundles or invertible bimodules over a class of generalized Weyl algebras $\mathcal{B}(p;q, 0)$ (over a ring of polynomials in one variable) are…

We consider characterizations of projective varieties in terms of their tangents. S. Mori established the characterization of projective spaces in arbitrary characteristic by ampleness of tangent bundles. J. Wahl characterized projective…

In this paper, we attempt to determine the quantum cohomology of projective bundles over the projective space P^n. In contrast to the previous examples, the relevant moduli spaces in our case frequently do not have expected dimensions. It…

Let $Z$ be a compact, connected $3$-dimensional complex manifold with vanishing first and second Betti numbers and non-vanishing Euler characteristic. We prove that there is no holomorphic mapping from $Z$ onto any $2$-dimensional complex…

Let h be a Real bundle, in the sense of Atiyah, over a space X. This is a complex vector bundle together with an involution which is compatible with complex conjugation. We use the fact that BU is equipped with a structure of conjugation…

We prove that, over a smooth quasi-projective curve, the set of non-isotrivial, smooth and projective families of polarized varieties with a fixed Hilbert polynomial and semi-ample canonical bundle is bounded. This extends the boundedness…

Let $\pi\,:\, X \,\longrightarrow\, Y$ be a finite morphism of smooth projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We study the necessary and sufficient criteria for $\pi$ such that there exists a…

In this paper we investigate the Kodaira dimension of almost complex $4$-manifolds with torsion first Chern class. First, we prove that, if the almost complex structure is also tamed, the only possible values for the Kodaira dimension are…

We investigate relative connections on a sheaf of modules. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex analytic family. We show that the relative Chern…

The goal of this work is to prove an embedding theorem for compact almost complex manifolds into complex algebraic varieties. It is shown that every almost complex structure can be realized by the transverse structure to an algebraic…

Let X be an algebraic curve over Q and t a non-constant Q-rational function on X such that Q(t) is a proper subfield of Q(X). For every integer n pick a point P_n on X such that t(P_n)=n. We conjecture that, for large N, among the number…

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…
